dselect trying to remove lots of stuff

[Anthony Fox <ant@lonelyroad.org>]

Hi,

Seems I wasn't careful enough when using dselect.  I have been trying
to remove the gnome libs and binaries that I don't use on my system.
Somehow, I must have selected the wrong package for purging.  Dselect
now wants to remove from my system, among other packages, XFree86 and
KDE.  I don't want these packages to be removed.  Is there some way
that I can make dselect forgot about previous selections?  That is, is
there some way for dselect to just start over?

Thanks,
Anthony
